Oracle Priority Service Infogram for 18-APR-2012



Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2012

The Oracle Critical Patch Update for April 2012 was released on April 17th, 2012. Oracle strongly recommends applying the patches as soon as possible. Please note that Sun products are included in this Critical Patch Update.

The Critical Patch Update Advisory is the starting point for relevant information. It includes a list of products affected, pointers to obtain the patches, a summary of the security vulnerabilities, and links to other important documents. Supported Products that are not listed in the "Supported Products and Components Affected" Section of the advisory do not require new patches to be applied.

Also, it is essential to review the Critical Patch Update supporting documentation referenced in the Advisory before applying patches, as this is where you can find important pertinent information.

Critical Patch Update Advisories are available at the following location:

SQL


Even the author of the So Many Oracle Manuals, So Little Time blog admits this is a fairly tenuous connection, but anything that combines SQL, one of my favorite computer entities, with the Hitchhikers Guide, one of my favorite novels/radio shows/films, etc. has got to go in the blog: Part 1: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to SQL: Lateral derived tables and other alternatives to GROUP BY
